The only things I actually have against #2 are the reaally small text and the fact that orange is used soo much on it. No offense to whoever made it, but it's kinda just a basic picture with some text slapped on and colorized a bit, in my opinion.

#3: The beveled border really doesn't work too well on this one. It might be better as a signature than a banner; plus, it seems to just lack anything on the right side. The z dominates the left, leaving the right kinda bare.

#4: Dimensions seem off (dunno, not sure). Additionally, parts of the text are hard to read, with the colors chosen and the little icons in two of the letters.

#5: I like this one a lot, it's my favorite. But it could still use improvement, like anything. The text is blurry in spots and hard to read; additionally, some focus issues seem to come to mind on the focus car.

Now, before anybody gets after me for "flaming" or what have you, please keep in mind that I also made one of the ones above, and still pointed out flaws in it (you'll have to guess as to which one). I think any of them would be a good banner for the site, representation-wise. I just kinda felt like writing up my analysis on all of them, to make my opinion more clear. I hope I didn't offend anyone, and good luck to whoever wins.

Contest ends here. Entry 2 is the winner with 4 votes. Entry 3 is on 2nd spot with 2 votes. I have to make Round 2 to decide the 3rd spot since there is tie up between Entry 1, Entry 4 & Entry 5. Respective authors of all the screenshots will be declared after the Round 2 ends.
